Office Scheduling

The Master Gardener office is staffed three days a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays by a group of volunteer Master Gardeners who answer questions from the general public on gardening.  The schedule is now online. While you cannot make individual changes online, you can email the class scheduler to make changes for you.  This online tool allows you to see how the office is staffed 12 months in  a year. 

 

The following are instructions on how to access and utilize the online calendar.
